In today’s social media and online world, having a great profile picture can make all the difference. Headshot mini-sessions take place at an outdoor or indoor location in downtown Toronto.

This mini-session will last 10–15 minutes, with a quick review of the images on the camera LCD to choose your 2 images. Images will be web quality/resolution, and include colour correction, and retouching. Images will be emailed to you within 24 hours of the headshot session. Please see my Photography Packages page for pricing details.

As an example of the retouching/processing done to each image, this is a before/after from a recent headshot session:

(Equipment used: Canon EOS-1D MarkIV (new version of this camera is the Canon EOS-1D X Digital), Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens, and the Canon 85 f1.2L lens)

Ryan is the older brother of a previous client, Coby, for whom I did a couple shoot back in February 2010 (see Coby and Ashley’s shoot here). We met on the U of T campus for the headshot session. (All of the following were shot with the Canon 1DMkIV and the Canon 70-200 f2.8L IS lens.)

Snuck in a few photos of Ryan and his brother, Coby, at the end of the session, included a fave here:

Dramatic B & W Photo Challenge

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: Canon, Children, family photographer, family photography, lenses, photographer, Toronto — Holly @ 5:26 pm

One of my fave family photographers, Tara Whitney, is the Guest Photography Judge at iheartfaces.blogspot.com for this week’s photo challenge theme, which is “Dramatic B & W”. Other then being a black & white image, the only other criteria (besides being ‘Dramatic’) is that the image contain a human face, so I hope this image fits the bill!

I captured this image back in 2007 with my first Canon SLR, the 30D. I have since upgraded, first to the Canon 5D and then to the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV. This image was shot with the Canon 100 mm f2.8 macro lens, which does a fabulous job of showing amazing detail in portraits. I have this image framed in my bedroom, and also printed as a 20×20 metallic print, which is one of the samples I show at the in-person proofing meeting.

I debated entering with this image, but wasn’t sure there was enough ‘face’. The second image in this blog posting, of my daughter Rebecca, is also a favourite…alas, I can only enter one, so this is it! 🙂

Body in Balance: Corporate/Headshots Photography, Toronto, Ontario

Filed under: Corporate,Headshots — Tags: Canon, Corporate Photography, Headshots, lenses, photography, Toronto, Toronto Corporate Photographer, Toronto Corporate Photography — Holly @ 6:29 pm

Dr. Vanessa Arnold, of Body in Balance, needed some up-to-date shots of herself and her studio space for a new website design. Her mom also helped out as the “patient/client”.

My fabulous friend, Janine, from imabeautygeek.com, did the make-up for the shoot and, as per usual, she did a fab job! Wish I had her available to do make-up for me every morning!

Once again, loving my Canon 85 f1.2L lens for the headshots taken outside, everyone of the following (except for the 3rd shot), was taken with this awesome lens from Canon. The other lens I used at the shoot was the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens, which was used for the interiors, except for the last two (in office) shots which were taken with the 85. (See “My Camera Equipment” in footer section for links/more information on camera equipment used.)

Kept it simple for the headshots, with a couple of wardrobe changes, we were very happy that the rain held off for the whole shoot!
